This is what people voted for. Then they complain endlessly . . . and vote for it again. Geez people, look at what is actually happening, not what you're being told, and recalibrate.
When Pete Hegseth polled top commanders about cutting a program designed to protect civilians during military operations, he bet they’d back his view that the program was “woke” and out of step with “maximum lethality,” officials told ProPublica. Instead, every commander rebuffed the idea.
